Sean Morrison

Swindon Town

Born in Plymouth, Devon, Morrison was a keen sportsman as a teenager, playing football and competing in athletics events. He favoured the long jump and represented his county and the South-West England team in the event. At the age of fourteen, he gave up athletics due to the travelling involved and to focus on his football career. Morrison joined his hometown club Plymouth Argyle in 2006, playing in the club's youth system for a year. However, he was released by Plymouth at the age of sixteen after being told by coaches that he "didn't use (his) size well enough." He subsequently joined Swindon Town in the summer of 2007, after being spotted by youth team manager Paul Bodin, signing an 18-month professional contract in February 2008, before being promoted to the first team in March 2008. Swindon manager Maurice Malpas commented that he would like to see Morrison and fellow youth player Ben Joyce gain first team experience, and Morrison made his professional debut on 26 April 2008 against Gillingham at the age of seventeen, coming on as a first-half substitute for Jerel Ifil during a 1–1 draw. He made his first start for Swindon on the final day of the season, 3 May 2008, in a 2–1 victory over Millwall. The following season, Morrison featured more frequently in the first team, making 23 appearances in all competitions and scored his first goal for the club on 25 October 2008, in a 2–0 league victory against Oldham Athletic. His performances led to…

At international level, Morrison is eligible to represent both England and the Republic of Ireland, qualifying to represent the nation as two of his grandparents are Irish.

Morrison is regarded as a big, physical centre-back who is noted for his aerial ability. He is also known for his tenacity, with Paul Abbandonato of WalesOnline describing him as "courageous, strong-willed, committed to the cause, passionate" and "Not the most aesthetic of footballers, no frills but talk about guts." He also possesses a long throw-in ability, which Huddersfield manager Lee Clark described as "a valuable attacking asset" during his time with the club. He has described himself as "a commanding centre-half who loves aerial battles and one-to-one duels. I don't shy away from the ugly stuff, but I also like to pass and play when the time is right."
